Gina Trapani Champions Keyboard Shortcuts, Low Tech Tools
I might like to feature male tech titans and their ladies, but I know you're more interested in tech girls! Gina Trapani, whose book, Upgrade Your Life which I mentioned a couple of months ago, is a geek girl role model for us all — as a web developer and programmer and editor of Lifehacker.
In an interview with the New York Times, she does a Q&A with advice on what her book and blog is about, and all of it is refreshingly simple.
Read Lifehacker Editor Gina Trapani's New Book!
Geeky girl, Lifehacker founder and editor Gina Trapani has released a new book full of the kind of tips that has made Lifehacker a phenomenal one-stop Internet shop and me a devotee, called Upgrade Your Life.
I've always appreciated the way Lifehacker has not only made an impact on the geek community by writing awesome extensions (they're perennially in Download of the Day), but the site also gives you ways to hack your real life, away from your computer, with DIYs and simple tips, like the awesome iPod cord detangler trick.
On that note, take some time away from your computer screen, order Upgrade Your Life, and sit down for a great read.

Geeks We Love: Adam Pash of Lifehacker
Continuing on with our Geeks We Love interview series, I'd like to introduce you to Adam Pash, the editor of one of my all-time favorite blogs, Lifehacker. This past January, Adam took over the helm at Lifehacker when Gina Trapani stepped down from her position, and he's been doing an amazing job ever since. Aside from running a site that's filled with more productivity tips, organizational tools, and useful downloads than you can imagine, Adam has also co-authored the book How to Do Everything with Your iPhone and can be found whipping up helpful web applications of his very own.
Do You Keep Your Plans Electronically or By Hand?
Pretty much everything I need to know, I have in my iPhone or BlackBerry.
Appointments, plans with friends, meetings, events — they're all in there somewhere. But I can't deny the secure feeling of a leather day planner in my hands, and knowing that the paper pages inside have my plans on them in ink.
Geek Girl History Lesson: Ada Lovelace
I hope you didn't feel discouraged about being a girl geek by that article awhile back that reported women find technology jobs boring.

Born in 1815 in London, Ada Lovelace is known as the first programmer.
Geeky Girl We Love: Mia Kim - Part Deux
Last month we featured some of the cutest geeky couples and bachelors in the blogoshere, which left many of you wondering - what about the women? Fear not my fine friends, we were just saving the best for last. March is Women's History Month so I figured there was no better way to celebrate than to highlight some of the smartest, most creative and successful women on the internet.
